Experience the pulse of opportunity in life sciences and healthcare at Stockholm's premier career and jobs fair – CHaSE. On November 15th the stage is set for a dynamic convergence of industry giants, startups, NGOs, and Karolinska Institutet's community.  

This dynamic event brings together visionaries and professionals from major corporations, emerging startups, as well as researchers, PhD candidates, postdocs, and students at various levels including bachelor's, master's, and medical. Last year, CHaSE attracted over 500 attendees, further enhancing its status as a highly desirable platform, says Raman Vashishtha, Project Co-Leader and President of the Business Committee (Medicinska Föreningen).

CHaSE, which stands for Careers in Health and Science Exposition, represents a pinnacle in career advancement. Crafted by Karolinska Institutet's students, this event bridges the gap between aspirants and employers in the life sciences and health sectors. Since its foundation in 2014, CHaSE has fostered connections between 75+ organizations, 6000 undergraduates and graduates, 2100 PhD students, and 900 postdoctoral scientists from KI. The arena also beckons talents from other esteemed Swedish institutions. In 2022 CHaSE was honored with the Scandinavian Business Award for Best Health & Science Jobs Fair. 

This year, the event is orchestrated by a dynamic and diverse team of fourteen students hailing from Karolinska Institutet.
